Thus little cove on Paddy Creek is a favorite foto stop. The sliders came to the rescue with cropping, lightening and brightening an otherwise dark and indistinguishable image.
happy new year from the german Alps

BEST VIEWED LARGE... on the flickr slide show...........
Did some fly fishing on a small lake last Monday and brought the camera along..There were tons of these water dogs swimming around in the lake. I was able to capture one coming up for air...
I went up to Mount Shasta on Friday specifically to try to create this image. Inspired by a picture I saw from Paul Schmit and thanks to a suggestion from a friend, I figured out I could get Andromeda rising from behind Mount Shasta and decided to give it a go.
This picture took everything I have learned in 12 years of photography. I used an equatorial tracker to find and stay locked on Andromeda starting from when it was still behind the volcano. As the tracker slowly turned, I kept watching the LCD on the camera to see if and where Andromeda would show up. At 10:56pm on Friday night, it peaked out from behind Shasta, right on schedule. I was literally dancing!
I kept tracking Andromeda for another 35 minutes to get enough exposures to bring out the details in it's spiral arms and to bring out M110 and M32, Andromeda's sister galaxies.
I then rotated the tracker back to center Shasta and took several images of it without the motion of the tracker. All of these images were stacked in Siril and composited in Photoshop. The relative size and placement of Andromeda is exactly as it appeared. I did not enlarge Andromeda to make it stand out. Andromeda is actually 6X wider than our moon, but so faint that the human eye can barely see it.
This is a reprocessing of the first version I posted. I used better astro processing techniques, corrected the color cast, and cropped in more.

I'm pretty sure it was Gareth Brooks' "Lenser Orbs*" that first inspired me to point my V24 towards the camera and pivot it around my right shoulder to create this effect.
I was hugely shocked and very saddened to hear that Gareth passed away on Monday evening.
Gareth was a son, husband & father and I'm sure he'll be sorely missed as such. The photography community further knew him as a talented & generous lightpainter who was eager to share his knowledge and make night photography more accessible to others. The world will be a darker place without his friendliness and enthusiasm.
Rest in peace, Gareth.

* I read a suggestion on someone else's tribute shot that this style of orb should henceforth be known as a "Brooks' orb". I'm all for that.
This little sprout was rising from soil stacked in the cavities of a Eucalyptus log. Life finds its way!

The moon rising in daylight taken on the same day as my last post only with a sigma 600mm mirror lense ,a bit noisy but a big moon .
This is an altered reality of Bridge Rising 1. Once more I used Photofox Surreal Skies component to create the image. The original was taken with my iPhone11. The bridge HAS been raised under unusual circumstances lately.
Shortly after the setting sun descended behind a bank of clouds, we turned around and saw Cookie Jar Butte in post-sunset light. Near the shores of Padre Bay, the sandstone domes framing the butte were underwater not so long ago.
Many thanks to my pals Jessica Fridrich and Willie Huang for their invaluable 'development' advice.
Taken At Sandwell valley park,
The great egret, also known as the common egret, large egret, or great white egret or great white heron is a large, widely distributed egret, with four subspecies found in Asia, Africa, the Americas, and southern Europe, recently also spreading to more northern areas of Europe.
There are a lot of old wooden supports along a path leading out into the estuary.
They are fully exposed when tide is at it lowest and have a gravel infill in the centre.
Not sure whether they were just edging for the path or remains of an old board walk.
Taken at Emsworth,Hampshire.
This image was captured back in February when I headed to the hills of Wiltshire.
With my main camera setup and facing towards the hills and mist opposite. Whilst capturing the scene unfolding in front of me, I noticed the lone tree not far from where I was standing, along with the sun rising behind. I grabbed the next best camera, the phone, and captured this image.
